how to ?

[duffyskin]

wondering what yall use to get rid of names written in sharpie or whatever permanant marker one may come across on a unreturnable disc. sharpie takes a while and i need some thing i can carry with me.
anyone???

[mattman]

magic eraser perhaps, acetone?

I've found on "good" plastic finger nail polish remover works well... you should have some in your purse.. but that only works on returnable discs, not sure about unretunrable ones...

[bmugwump]

You can always just scratch it out...but that's ugly!

Acetone works pretty well at removing ink, stamps, and anything else on the disc. That's what we use to clean up the disc before dying it. About 50 seconds into this video gives a good demonstration of it's effectiveness.

i will have to take some of the lady wadding out of my purse/discbag and try that polish remover thing.

cool video post too.

Nice.

Ya, that's it - just erase the name on it - that'll make it yours.



Why not just steal some new discs from the store?

frisbeedude: he said they are unreturnable as marked. i assume they don't have a phone # or other identifying mark (i.e. pdga #) other than a name or initials which make it difficult if not impossible to track down the owner.

if anything i was just posting something to break up the boringness that sometimes happens on any board. its just me being a bit of a devil. anyone that knows me knows im gonna give it back and then some. i lost 2 of my all time favorites the other day and just have to hope they come back to me. everyone have a great day.

Perhaps I was a bit hasty but c'mon now - "how to erase someones mark on a disc" discussion thread, weather or not the person that lost the disc is unavailable or not, just doesn't seem right.

Why not just leave the previous owners name on it
[That way when you throw it back in and it's found later it might just make it back to the original owner]

I for one love to get back long lost plastic. I'd say I've received one back for every ten found & returned.
